Systemic Sclerosis

A complex autoimmune condition that affects the skin and connective tissues throughout the body, including vital organs such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, and digestive system. Common symptoms include swollen or puffy skin that gradually hardens and thickens, joint stiffness, white bumps under the skin or on the fingers, and fingers or toes that turn white or blue in response to cold temperatures. Systemic Sclerosis varies in severity but can significantly impact mobility, circulation, and overall quality of life.

Systemic Sclerosis causes tightening of the skin and internal tissues, often leading to joint pain, circulation issues, and serious organ involvement. It’s a condition that demands attention, care, and ongoing support.
